Dear Mom and Dad, I have no idea how long mail takes from all the way over here so I'm sending this a month ahead and hoping it reaches you before Christmas. The months since I joined the circus have been the most difficult times of my life, but I don't regret coming. I hope by now you've understood why I had to leave. It wasn't because I didn't love you anymore or because you couldn't give me enough, it was just that there were things I had to see and learn for myself. I think I'm getting stronger here. But thinking about Christmas makes me miss you even more. I'll miss sitting around eating dad's world famous chestnut and pear stuffing and the creamy potatoes and yams and just being too full to move. I'll miss charades with all the cousins and waking up early to see the sun come up like we always used to. But maybe it's that stuffing I'll miss the most, because the smell of it in the house makes me feel like it's really Christmas. They can make almost anything you want to eat here but it won't be the same. I am in Vienna now and it's beautiful, and in a few days we'll be somewhere new again. It makes my head spin but in a good way. Please don't worry about me. I'm here with Margo and Maddie and we're safe. I'm going to try and keep in touch better. All my love, Mona. |
